Found old pics

After my mom passed, two years ago, I've come upon some old pictures from my youth and wanted to share them with my Packard family. I know there are more, this is just the first one.
It's from about 1959 with my brother in a laundry basket beside our 56 Executive. The photo is B/W and the car was Norwegian Forest and Shannon Green. The only difference between this car and my current 56 is that mine has Tahitian Jade. Should I change it to re-make my childhood memories come to life? Would you? Attach file:  (64.11 KB)

You're correct about the existing paint in those areas, it's the Shannon Green that is in need of a re-paint. I think that when I get closer to a re-paint, I'll have to make the decision. I just am so elated about finding some proof of our old Packard.

The pic was taken in Santa Clara, CA and our driveway was right next to our next-door-neighbor's. I know he had a '56 Chevy that he had well into the '70s. edit - now that I think about it his wife always drove Mercs. She was a customer at my Dad's gas station.

It is so easy to paint the stripe and the top, I think I would go ahead and do it sooner rather than later.

I think it is a very good looking car with that color combo. I would keep it original. It is your car and you have the final say.

So if you change the paint, will you have to find a basket for your brother?

WOW, I love it! He's 55 now and a retired O-6 from the Marine Corp, I don't think he'll submit like he used to. I'd like to find a laundry basket and try it for old times sake.
